The Greatest Whole

ake a good look at your reflection

ask the mirror one last thing

Bm

can you see how much affection

to her table did you bring

does she live walkin on eggshells

and praying for some rain

to dance upon this world of hurt

and wash away her pain

D

does she save you from yourself

are you your own ball of shame

Bm

do you give her all your wealth

or just fan your fiery flames

Am

will you walk thru this life

C

holding on to her hand

G

or is she the cane that holds you up

F

while you fail to understand

Em G

cuz your only as good as the woman you love (x2)

from the wife that receives you

whose breathe breathes into you

to the mistress who deceives you

ruins lives and destroys you

now look into that mirror

and stare into yourself

can you stand there without flinching

or must you look at something else

now the hurt that you gave others

comes back twice fold

and the words will wring inside you

as the worlds around you burn

chorus:

G

from the mother that holds you

F

that nurses and scolds you

C

to the lover that bathes you

G

and wants to invade you

G

i'll tell you one thing

F

if this life starts to sting

C

and the world stops to sing

G

cuz you ain't learned a thing

Em G

you're only as good as the woman you love x2

CHORUS

(played like VERS #2)

you said you gave her your youth

in return she gave you her life

who broke her back nursing four
